#3 An event which goes to show that the Death to Everyone crowd is non-exclusive .....

#4 If the Boston Red Sox can beat the Babe Ruth curse, then Ariel Sharon should be able to beat the Pulsa Denura curse...

After all Denura never played for the New York Yankees....

#5 Some ultra-orthodox Jews are so devolved from Judaism that they are almost funny if you know something about Judaism. Some incorporate traditions that are inherently anti-Jewish, and slavishly abide by them. Some I'vd been told about includes practices such as "mortification of the flesh" (self-flaggelation), living among their own feces, rejection of all knowledge not found in the Pentatuch and Talmud (sound familiar?), prohibition against all music and decoration, and the rejection of all Jews not belonging to their sect. Several are apocalyptic and messianic cults, and are far more cultish than the Branch Davidians. Most other Jews are properly appalled by their behavior, but surprisingly, the various groups band together to form effective, if annoying political parties in Israel.

#6 prohibition against all music and decoration,

Sounds very Talibani... I have heard amongst ultra-orthodox Jews some women do shave their heads, and quit wearing make-up once they are married. Poor husband... Unless he's into bald women...

#7 I feel better now, but the ultra orthos up the street drive me wild with their weekly deliveries of kosher, and then they throw the best stuff out! Then it's stolen, people are crazy.

#8 The shaved heads bit is a weirdy. After marriage, they are not supposed to display their hair in public, for erotic reasons, hair being erotic. So they shave their hair and wear wigs. Not too long ago, there was a panic because most of the wigs are natural human hair from India, and a rumor started that they were contaminated with a pagan ritual. Women *there* were shaving their heads to raise money for their Hindu temple, and some ceremony was involved. So orthodox Jewish women suddenly all appeared in public bald, until a Rabbinical court could determine if the wigs were okay or not. Ironically, this sort of thing happens in Israel with all to great a frequency.

#9 FYI, this curse has never worked the many times I tried it.

Thank God these jokers didn't try this when Arafat was on his death bed. It would have started Armageddon.

I agree with the guy who says that the Ultra Orthodox have transposed Judaism into something it isn't.

#10 Next a "rabbi" from this sect (it ain't a very Jewish one) will be caught conjuring up a Golem.

In other news the ISS (top sectret Israeli Secret Spacestation) was getting ready to take delivery of the new and improved Zionist Death Ray™ from the Space Shuttle launched from the Zionists supporter and lackey the USA Tuesday.

#11 I can picture Ariel Sharon breaking into a dance and singing that old Cole Porter tune:

You do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me, why should it be
You have the power to hypnotize me

Let me live 'neath your spell
*You* do that voodoo that you do so well

For you do something to me
That nobody else could do.
